 10/29/26: temperature high 71 low of 55 very cloudy early morning showers. wind speed 8 mph switching from sw and nw. length of day 10 hours 29 minutes. sunrise 8:15 sunset 6:44. Five senses: felt the air turning crisper as i hiked through my area, smelt the damp leaves that were kind of musty. I saw the very vivid bright colors of the fall leaves coating the ground. I could almost taste the mustiness from the leavees too just like i smelled. i noticed that the trees changed color and fell very quickly considering last time i was at my spot most of the leaves were still green. I did see to squirrels and did see how they populate the earth. that was a very interesting sight to see.

    Great pics! Any tracks? Fungi? Are you seeing patterns in leaf fall and for any other vegetation changes?

9/23/2026:  temperature: 65 degrees mostly cloudy wind gusts of 23 mph length of day 12 hours 11 minutes sunrise 7:31 sunset 7:43.

Observations: I saw 4 deer while walking on my way in but could not get my camera out quick enough, it is so crazy how much they have grown already from the first time I saw them earlier this summer even before this project. lots of the trees in the front not in my 30X30 area are turning bright colors which is weird to me because in my 30X30 area a orange tree is few and far between. I think it is so cool that within this short amount of time how much shorter the days are becoming. even...

 Day 2: 9/10/2026 temperature: 64 degrees sunny wind gusts of 12 mph length of day 12 hours 44 minutes sunrise 7:19 sunset 8:03. Five senses: I felt the hot sun beaming down on me, I smelled the sweet smell of the flowers, I saw the beautiful layering of the mushrooms on tree stumps, I tasted the humidity of the air, I heard the trees rustling as the wind blew every once and a while. Observations: some leaves are already starting to turn colors and falling off the trees. I am noticing more mushrooms than last time i visited my 30X30 area. It has been really cool seeing how even in this short of time between the first visit I am starting to see new plants fungi and flowers that are growing because of the cooler weather.
